The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Questions from Watten

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Do you need worktop repair in Watten?

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips on edges and corners

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Watten. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
